Post-Colonial Africa refers to the period after many African nations gained independence from European colonial powers, primarily during the mid-20th century. This era is marked by efforts to establish self-governance, cultural identity, and economic development. Countries like Ghana and Kenya emerged as independent states, facing challenges such as political instability, economic dependency, and social divisions. During this time, African nations sought to reclaim their cultural heritage and address the legacies of colonialism. Movements for Pan-Africanism and regional cooperation aimed to foster unity among countries. Despite ongoing challenges, post-colonial Africa has seen significant advancements in education, technology, and governance.
